The RU251 in War Thunder is a German Light Tank that for lack of a better description is a Baby Leopard 1. Armed with a 90mm cannon capable of firing a really decent HEAT-FS with 320mm of penetration.
The RU 251 was literally the best premium for at least a year and was the bane of heavy tanks for the Allied side. It's extremely fast and maneuverable with excellent reverse speed and great gun handling. I'm honestly surprised that no one uses this vehicle more.
Able to punch way above its weight due to its speed, the RU251 is still pretty useful all the way up to 7.7 BR before better options in the German Tech Tree start to come viable.

    Germany 7.0-8.0 is probably some of the strongest and most fun vehicles at the BR range, somehow the team mates still make it incredibly hard to enjoy sadly but the RU 251 is a gem and i wish they had it in the tech tree because of how good it is.

    It was 6.7 back in the day and was added alongside the IS-6. It was one of the few thifngs that could reliably destroy them, but sometimes both nations would be teamed up together and it was a nightmare for the rest of the nations. Not very fun times for those not driving them i gotta say

    one my favorite tanks, start at 5.7, was a nightmare there, moved up to 6.7, was still a nightmare, moved up to 7.7, was still playable then for some reason it got moved up to 8.7 till gaijin went on their MBT spree and now it's finally sitting at 7.0. In other words this was Germany's version of the hellcat saga.

    @@Robin-sf3gk I play both and Lekpz M41 is a great tank and you can use them in a similar way but the RU 251 is significantly superior. I often have them in the same lineup. The RU 251 has a lower profile, is a fair bit faster, handles a lot better and importantly has a 90mm cannon rather than a 76mm cannon. Note the RU 251 has a reverse speed of 80k/h vs 19k/h which makes a big difference.

(the scene happened many times to me and oftend exactly as described and with the same tank)
